Roberta Warshaw Art and Design: Still at It!


Plant on a grid

I haven't painted any real plants in a while so I thought I would give it a try with my new found acrylic skills. This has a lot of metallic paint in it which you can't really see too well but it really gives it a nice glow in person.

This is an orchid plant that keeps on thriving no matter what I do or don't do to it. The orchids fell off a while ago but I do like the leaves and stem. I made up the bud/seedpod thingy since that is what I do...I have a hard time sticking to reality.....Hmmm. What does that say about me I wonder?

Artist Statement

For most of my career as an artist I have been a painter. I have worked in pen and ink, watercolors, gouache, oils and acrylics. I have always painted the world around me in all its true splendor. For many years I lived in the tropics and painted the lush plant life that surrounded me. When I left the tropics and moved out into the country I painted landscapes of the local farms and my wonderful vegetable garden.

In the early 90’s I began a career in graphic design. I designed textbooks for both Pearson Education and Houghton Mifflin. Working as a graphic designer gave my work a new vision. I still painted and drew in my spare time as much as I could but in graphic design it is all about the software. I became a Photoshop whiz and specialized in digital artwork.

Thank you for looking at my work and please get in touch if you would like to purchase my work.
